Silver shampoo is no newcomer to beauty, having been conjuring up a light silver shimmer for gray hair for several years. Recently, however, this miracle product has also been used for natural and dyed blonde hair, as the shampoo acts as an anti-yellow filter. But how does it work exactly?
Silver shampoo contains violet pigments, which is why it's often called "violet shampoo" or "purple shampoo." The reason for using violet is that violet is the complementary color to yellow. This means that when these two pigments are mixed together, they neutralize each other, making the hair appear lighter and less yellow overall.
Who is silver shampoo suitable for?
Silver shampoo is suitable for anyone who would like to remove an unsightly yellow tint from their hair. Both people with gray and blonde hair often wish to make their hair color appear less yellow. Women and men whose hair has been unsuccessful in bleaching their hair often suffer from a yellow tint.
This special anti-yellow shampoo also works wonders for people whose hair is discolored by environmental influences such as UV radiation or air pollution. Silver shampoo is also ideal for those who like to experiment and want to try out the trendy "granny style" and care for their gray tones. Silver shampoo is also recommended for all women and men who dare to let their hair gray naturally and who want to transform dull gray into a beautiful, healthy shine.
How to use silver shampoo
Essentially, you use silver shampoo like a regular shampoo. You apply the shampoo evenly to damp or wet hair and then let it work for at least three minutes. During this time, the color pigments are absorbed into the hair. You can then rinse the product out as usual.
To achieve the desired color effect, you should use the shampoo regularly, as over time, more violet pigments can be added to the hair, making the anti-yellowing effect long-lasting and more intense.
Does silver shampoo damage your hair?
No. The violet pigments simply deposit on the hair without damaging its structure. To ensure long-term, long-lasting hair care, you should ensure that you adequately condition it even when using any type of shampoo frequently. Since bleached hair, in particular, is already very damaged by coloring, it's a good idea to also use a nourishing conditioner.
